[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s a lot of takeout. I cook most nights of the week (and yes I work full time). We go out or get takeout only once every other week. It’s just so expensive. They go out with their friends sometimes and they’re allowed, but I’m not funding that, they worked over the summer and save their birthday/holiday money from grandma for that sort of thing.

FWIW dh and the teens do cook dinner if I can’t, they all know how to cook, but it just works better for my schedule and I’m better at it :) often my son helps me cook on the weekends.

I think living a life of majority takeout/restaurant food is setting these teens up for being terrible at budgeting before they have enough salary to cover this on their own.

Why not have them help one night a week. Teach them how to cook. It’s a good life skill. [/quote]

What do you mean majority take out I said 2x per week out of 21 meals.

They do cook because there are 7 nights for dinner and we cook 3 of them.

I generally don’t cook on Wednesdays and Thursdays because there’s so many leftovers.

Friday I go to the gym after work and the kids are usually with their friends at a football game or something.

They’d have to pack lunch and dinner. They don’t always come home since our school is about 30 minutes away.

I’m talking about teenagers not little kids.[/quote]
